The beachgoers and tourists who flock to Sea Bright each summer may not realize it, but residents and workers know that Frances Rooney – affectionately known as Mrs. Rooney, The Hot Dog Lady – is hawking her Sabrett hot dogs year-round. For years the Rooney family’s hot dog stand stood on their empty lot on Ocean Avenue. Now on the spot, named Rooney Plaza, stands a commercial and apartment building, that provides a perfect location to house Rooney and her cart, which she has run almost single-handedly since 1977. “And we’ve had the business since 1965.”
